Reason #9 - ARRI LOG C!!!
YES! THIS IS WILD! Imagine they do that with the next XS or XH camera?
@@oh_aces right?!
Great seeing my grandson. Great job, son. I love you- mom
he made a rare appearance for sure! love you too!
lowkey, best camera on the market right now, people are so focused on the FF train right now that they forget its about the craft and not the sensor size, I'm definitely getting the GH7 along side my GH6 and RED Komodo, my S5II for content creation and Photo.
Dude I think this camera will drive the narrative that sensor size does not matter
So, why not use the GH7 for photo?
This is what MFT filmmakers have been crying out for.
Right?!
It’s a pretty bad ass camera. The whole thing with the GH5 is that the feature set was unmatched at the time, which is why it was so popular. People were picking it over s35 and full frame, this camera gets back to that.
Right?! It is very hard to go back to a small sensor but this is the most compelling case I’ve seen in some time. Even considering other MFT cameras from cine cam brands
@@Ansonandcoas long as the lenses are right it looks exatcly the same as fullframe. If you want the fullframe f2.8 DOF then a f1.4 lens does well. For f1.8 dof then a 0.95 lens does well, which mft has plenty of
Your image quality is so great and every product shot is amazing to watch.🙌
Thanks so much!
How does one return their face to the normal setting after watching this excellent review? My jaw has hit the floor and my eyes are stuck in the popped out position. This is such great news. 32 audio float, great IBIS and good autofocus....sold, I am sold
Thanks dude! This camera is a beast for sure!
Perfect camera. The one and only.
It is definitely damn near perfect! I wish it had dual native ISO, but otherwise it is pretty perfect
This is an exceptional camera. Long live MFT!
MFT is NOT DEAD! 🤘🏻
@@Ansonandco yes indeed. And hopefully those BS clickbait predictions will die once and for all. I see Gerald Undone has done a 180 degree turn on his position.
@@Democratiser lol no comment
This camera Lumix GH7 is a beast! Especially considering the price point. It has amazing features like ProRes RAW, phase-detect autofocus, in-body image stabilization, real-time LUT recording, Leica monochrome, and 32-bit float audio
It is absolutely a steal of a camera for sure!
@@Ansonandco ya😀
Lumix's GH line is to cameras what the Porsche 911 is to cars... Each generation gets better and better and the old ones are absolute classics. I picked up a GH6 a few months ago for an incredible price so I'm not upgrading (yet) but I'm so grateful Lumix is continuing to develop MFT.
Absolutely! I have been eyeballing the BGH1 for a while and just don’t pull
The trigger cause of lens options, more specifically I don’t any MFT lenses
Very informative and interesting review. Really cool camera
Thanks dude!
That AF looks smooth!! 😮
Dude and I’m using a 8 year old sigma lens
@@Ansonandcowhich lens Anson??
@@luisangelrodriguez7678 the sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN
baller status 😂 fantastic viddie! i’ve been trying to catch up on all the gh7 vids cuz 😅
Thanks dude!
Panasonic been COOKING lately. Great stuff!
they really have been!
This guy is awesome as a person and a genius!
Appreciate you my dude! Glad I got to meet you tonight. Hope you have a great week!
If someone think that having ProRes Raw is a sacrifice of other good codecs, they’re sorely mistaken. RAW video is the best quality you can have in any camera. Storage is more affordable so that should not be a reason why people don’t shoot in RAW
Agreed. Some people don’t want RAW. I am not one of them but that’s why I kept it in
@@Ansonandco same here brother 🙏
@Anson & Co. I’m absolutely torn between the GH7 and the Sigma FP… I would love to get your thoughts on the Pros and Cons of each and maybe see a comparison video?
Interesting gap between those two. Outside of shooting RAW, there is really no comparison of the two. What attracts you to either one?
@@AnsonandcoBoth are ideal for documentary work. The feature set of the GH7 has so many advantages: IBIS, ProRes RAW, Dual Gain, 32-Bit Float… But the Sigma FP captures uncompressed 8-bit & 12-bit RAW CDNG in an inconspicuous body.
The GH7 has more video features but it’s in a package that screams “I don’t have a permit to be shooting here” while the Sigma though it lacks all the bells and whistles can capture CDNG in a body that could pass for a P&S.
Choosing between the two is difficult because one hand being able to run away from the rent-a-cops and still have smooth footage is hella useful… not attracting their attention in the first place might be worth sacrificing some of the “nice-to-haves”
@@SaskamodieJones yeah that is the nice thing about the fp. Imma throw another option out there, have you considered the lumix s9? No raw video, no 32 bit float audio, but similar size to the fp with amazing ibis and AF
Random (and possibly misguided) question. GH7 with the PDAF, or GH6 with a LiDAR AF set up? GH6 with LiDAR works out cheaper for me, but is it inferior? Aware it adds bulk etc, but purely on AF performance
Depends on what lidar set up you go with, if it’s anything other than DJI, the AF on the gh7 is far superior to lidar
Thanks, much appreciated
It maybe be awsome to see soom some new record option in the GH7, like "Apple Prores Raw - Light", at [about] 700mb/s.
Lowkey want. Like a lot
Not gonna lie, it’s gonna be really hard for this to not be the camera I use as a primary cam this year
Is autofocus with non-native lenses reliable enough? In this video, you use a 30mm Sigma, right?
Yeah I did use that lens. It handles it so well. Barely noticed I was using an 8 year old non native lens
I’m gonna wait and see what Panasonic does with their full frame line up and maybe they might revive their CINEMA line 😮😅?!
We are all hoping they revive their cinema line
Still a lot of audio limitations: 4 channel audio can not be recorded from the internal mics and the external 3.5 input at the same time. No internal 32 bit float audio. The XLR2 cost more than a complete set of Røde Wireless PRO (which does float audio internally in transmitters). Also, can probably not handle a USB-C mic to the USB input, something that even the DJI Pocket 3 does now. Also, why no team up with DJI and put the wireless receiver INSIDE the camera, again something that the Pocket 3 manages for a price less than the XLR2 device.
In my opinion, from the footage I've seen these days, the actual image quality didn't improve much after gh5 and gh5s. They were and still are cutting-edge cameras. Of course gh7 is better, but there is no difference like between gh1 and gh3 or gh3 and gh5
I think the gh5s has the best image IMO
It's cool 📷📽️🔥
Right?! 🔥🔥🔥
@@Ansonandco 🕉️🙏
@@WEDraskaz 🫶🏻
Which lens you used for the talking footage?
That is a sigma 50mm f1.2
At this point in time do you prefer this over the s5II?
@@ngonzale3 no, I would however sprint for the IIX so that you can record pro res raw externally. But there are more benefits to the S5IIX that still justify it for me
@@Ansonandco Thank you. Your work is incredible!
@@ngonzale3 thanks!
I think their are more than 5 cameras to beat in 2024 already. They're all good
It’s a good time to be shopping for a camera
Z6iii around the corner. Another 2024 camera to beat 2024 lol
And then Nikon dropped the Z6 and said "Want this power in FF"?
What a time to be alive
Any changes to timecode? Is it sync and forget it or you need to re-sync every 1-2 hours?
I am not sure, if I can find out, I will let you know!
The camera to beat is! R5c z8 any 8K camera or the SONY A7s3 lol the only stand out is the 32 bit that I can agree but you have to give it up to Lumix they are pushing boundaries with M4T
And one reason why another camera will beat the previous one: Continuum.
Wait this doesn’t have dual native iso?!?!. Wow I don’t think I can do that with mft. Should’ve been automatic!
Yeah it’s my biggest gripe with the cam. It’s the only thing that keeps me from using it regularly
No UFO detection mode? Pass!!!!
Hell yeah, if it doesn’t have UFO tracking, is it even worth considering?!
No duel native iso 😭😭😭😭
My only big gripe right now to be honest
iiSo basically a G9ii with internal raw, that's not that good honestly
If you need to record raw, it is a big production, you'll need a extern monitor, so what's the point of INTERN raw ?
As someone that has shot raw to an SSD for a few years. Being able to do it in camera is a huge convenience factor. Less points of failure
II@@Ansonandco it is more convenient, that's all
Gh5 bring 10 bit codec
gh6 bring 4k120 and FHD300 10 bit
gh7 bring internal raw instead of external... It is a bit disapointing when you compare it to the G9ii
@@ohdeazy1567so get a gh6 then. Smfh
@@ohdeazy1567 Raw recording and arri log C are enough of a big deal to absolutely move units for lumix. agree to disagree
@@rovingearth7028 appreciate you!
Need Internal BRAW ?? 😢
That would be dope!
Internal braw in Panasonic cameras would kill a lot of Blackmagic's camera sales. I wouldn't count on it, but it would be a big draw.
Still no 12bit raw! Sigma Fp is still my camera to beat ;)
Preach!
I will say pro res raw is actually 12bit… so it is actually shooting 12bit raw
Too early to say. Canon, Sony and Nikon all comimg the second half of year.
Fair points
I hate micro four thirds, having a large part of the frame in focus is a pain : i have to actually think about how I frame, what the meaning of each shot is by also thinking about my chosen focal length, movements, light and colors…. Full frame shooting at f1.4 is much better, even the face of my subject is partially blurry and we can’t tell where he is or what he’s doing, everybody is just swimming in beautiful bokeh that’s the real shit of cinematography.
Also it sucks because I can’t shoot at 56 thousands ISO in total darkness… when shooting by night with micro four thirds I have to position my subjects where the light falls, creating contrast… it’s so much work. Sometimes we also have to light up the subject and it’s so much work and brings so many questions to ask ourselves, what a pain.
@@mcronfpv8736 haha
Whatever you're using for the talking head parts, you need to stop it down, the depth of field is WAY too shallow. I'm guessing FF 25mm 0.95 or something equally obscene. You've taken it too far and only Toneh Northrup would be proud of your background blur.
ProRes RAW can only be edited fully with Appels own Final Cut Pro. DaVinci Resolve will not even touch it. Totally worthless.
*The Leica MonoChrome setting really looks great. However, the rest of your GH7 Review is made with a final grade which really doesn't look all that good, and definitely is a little distracting to look at. The whole video (Except for the cool Leica MonoChrome examples), looks super soft and "blurry," to my eye. I think you may have been going for a softer diffused look, but you forgot CZcams's crappy 8 Bit 4:2:0 codec destroys such subtle grades online due to its crushing of the blacks and destruction of highlight detail. I wish CZcams would work on providing a more superior re-encoding codec, or even better, allowing their sites to display people's video in its native outputted codec and colour precision without re-encoding it upon upload. Sorry, but your grade is unwatchable and I couldn't get through watching more than half way. Bye.*
To each their own. Side note the all the video in BW is custom, not Leica ✌🏻
Soft hamds and fluffy shoulders killed it for me, but I watched through anyway. The guy is right that it's distracting but didn't need to rant so hard IMO.
@@fredio54 Rant so hard ? Consider this then - You are trying to get information about a new camera, and also, at the same time, get an idea about the quality of the image the device puts out. However, you cannot determine this information, because the dude making the video puts on top of the image his own custom grade, which masks the image to the point you can't tell what the camera is doing at all imagewise. The poster just wants to be an artist, and dazzle us with his artsy colour grade (Which looks like Caca as far as I am concerned). Lots of guys can shoot, a few can edit, but only a small fraction of shooters know how to properly grade their footage ! This is why producers in Hollywood pay a professional colourist thousands of Dollars to grade and ballance the look of their movies, so they look amazing !
@@markjob6354 I thought you had left? Don't be so bloody rude and perhaps others will take you more seriously.
M43?😂
Don’t knock until you’ve tried it… it’s pretty freakin rad. Will it be my A cam? Probably not but it will be a b cam for sure
@@Ansonandco if you have G9ii, then you don’t need this one. Hope they may carryout a APS-C camera.
@@ericcoen8894 there is a lot of similarity between the two for sure, but pro res raw and arri log C is a low key big deal
